Traditional private equity buyout and growth funds accessible via feeders or wealth platforms.
Buyout and growth equity funds invest in established private companies to improve operations, expand strategically, and exit at higher valuations. Buyouts typically use leverage, while growth equity focuses on expansion capital with less debt.
Buyout activity is highly sensitive to interest rates, financing availability, and entry valuations. Growth equity tends to perform best when revenue expansion opportunities are strong and capital markets are receptive to exits.
